ABOUT

Jack Han is a Coaching Consultant and author of the Hockey Tactics Newsletter. As a first-generation immigrant, Han was the only person in his family to play hockey. He never fulfilled his childhood ambition of becoming a professional player, but began coaching hockey at 18 and reached the NHL a decade later as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Player Development Department.

Since then, Han has served as an Assistant Coach with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) and as a Coaching Consultant for the Connecticut Whale (PHF), ZSC Zurich (Swiss National League) and Tappara Tampere (Liiga). Asked what the proudest moment of his hockey career is, Han said it was watching clients Alex Huang and Philippe Veilleux being selected in the first round of the 2023 QMJHL draft!
